Bernie Sanders: “Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, spent almost $300M to help elect Trump. Now he’s gonna spend $200M to try to keep Republican control over the House and the Senate and other Republican billionaires are coming in. Does anybody in their right mind think that is democracy?

Labor’s 5% deposit scheme conned 1st homebuyers into massive debt & many risk owing the bank. The Greens want big banks to be required to offer low-interest mortgages for 1st homebuyer owner-occupiers so more early repayments go to paying off the loan, not to bank profits.

CPAC Australia is calling itself 'NatCon' this year. It may mean more than you think
Sure, it's short for "national conference". But CPAC Australia would be well aware it's also the name of another very prominent European conference for national conservatism.

Exclusive Brethren leader calls
Jews 'wicked', 'infidel' as Liberals remain silent
By Michael Bachelard and Sherryn Groch
September 26, 2026 - 5.00am
The world leader of the Exclusive Brethren church, which ran a covert campaign supporting the Coalition at the last federal election, has described Jews as evil, malicious infidels who are unable to ever atone for the sin of killing Jesus.
Leaked church records spanning more than two decades reveal Bruce Hales, the church's leader and
"Elect Vessel", repeatedly preaching to his 56,000-stong global flock that Jews are beyond redemption.
"The poor Jew, still in the darkness of Judaism, trying to atone for the things they've done wrong; their lies and their iniquity, and their wickedness," Hales, the Brethren's "Man of God", said in 2009.
